Moving on with ICT....the use of a Wiki as a collaborative tool

http://wik.ed.uiuc.edu/index.php/Dreikurs,_Rudolf

This site is an example of a wiki. A wiki is a a document on the internet that can be publicly accessed by everyone, with anyone able to contribute. There are usually different postings mades by different people. Questions of reliability of information arise when everyone is able to contribute. Also when postings are made anonymous, it becomes unclear whether the information given is from a valuable and reliable source. It is a document stored on a server which is formed by a group of people, which can be changed, edited and added to at anytime.
It is a development from basic ICT processes such as email for the transferring of information. Wiki's are a from of E-learning at level 2.0, which has increased from the 1.0 level. This could be a fairly valuable tool for students, as it is online communication of information and lesson content, it is easily accessed from home and all students can have a say.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Now, I feel good, I started take up real money.
It's all about how to select a correct companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
